My Latest Segmented Piece

[Michael Short]

Here is my latest attempt in segmented turning. I have the book Woodturning with Ray Allen and have been wanting to do this project similar to his works with diamonds in the feature ring for a couple years now. Making the diamond feature ring was a learning experience. 170 pieces made up of walnut and maple, 6.5”diameter, 5” tall. Thanks.

Michael - looks pretty good to me! Form looks great - as does your detail ring! You should be happy with this one! Nice work!

Segmenting really amazes me! First, making 170 pieces, then making them fit into a puzzle, then turning the whole thing and hoping it turns out like one envisioned - just impressive. Very nice work on this one!

[Ed Morgano]

Beautiful work. Someday I'll get good enough to try something like that.

[Jim Burr]

170 pieces!!! I'm not sure I have that many pieces of wood!!! Great job of patience and skill Mike. Well done!!

[David E Keller]

Well done! You segmenters amaze me too. This piece is nicely done.

Not bad at all. Diamonds are one of the harder feature rings to make in my opinion.

[Ron Stadler]

Another beautiful piece Mike, seeya next meeting.

Looks darn good to me. I have Ray's book too, and it's full of inspiration. That is one of my favorite designs he shows. I just don't have the talent or patience to pull one off. Great work.

Really a nice piece Mike. I have Ray's book but have just never tried anything yet.
